HealthTrust and BroadJump Offer Price Benchmarking

Agreement Enhances Value to Members through Transparent Market Pricing

NASHVILLE, Tennessee—August 2, 2017—HealthTrustSM, a performance improvement company for healthcare, and BroadJump, a provider of automated, cloud-based data and analytic tools that help hospital operators extract maximum savings from their supply chain, have entered a collaborative agreement to provide HealthTrust members with access to BroadJump’s proprietary benchmarking and pricing intelligence services. Under the agreement, subscribers will utilize the BroadJump application to assist in identifying non-competitive pricing on Physician Preference Items (PPI) and associated product categories.

The BroadJump platform empowers supply chain executives with clear visibility to the prices other hospitals are paying for identical PPI, identifying potential savings by category, manufacturer and SKU. The tools strive to deliver relevant data such as market share, volume and exact price points that are invaluable in analyzing spend patterns and negotiating with suppliers.

“BroadJump is much more than a benchmarking tool. Beyond market intelligence, we strive to deliver the extra details that matter in a negotiation,” said Greg Corban, chief operating officer for BroadJump. “Understanding the ‘why’ behind a price and using that in negotiations is far more powerful than just knowing what the market will bear.”

“Paired with our proprietary capabilities for analyzing spend, BroadJump will help clients streamline the sourcing process for Physician Preference Items from months to minutes to immediately identify categories with actionable savings opportunities,” said Fred Keller, vice president of strategic sourcing for HealthTrust. “This toolset will arm HealthTrust members with the ability to see all custom and locally negotiated prices that their peers and competitors are paying. With this knowledge, they can enter into direct negotiations with suppliers or engage our inSight AdvisorySM specialists to help them secure preferred pricing and terms on PPI and other strategic local contracts.”

New platform delivers enhanced user interface, new algorithms to help hospitals leverage purchasing power to achieve supply chain savings

Dallas, TX, March 07, 2017 – BroadJump, LLC, a leader in advocating for supply chain cost transparency through web-based data and analytics tools, announced today that it has launched the third generation of its medical and surgical expense analytics platform. This release includes a fully overhauled user interface – designed to make complex operations executable through just a couple of clicks – and major upgrades to the company’s AutoPricer (TM) and PriceChecker (TM) products.

Goods and services – including supplies – are the fastest growing expense category for U.S. hospitals. (1) BroadJump’s easy-to-use online tools help hospitals assess the favorability of their pricing compared to other hospitals, identify savings opportunities and improve contracting speed and efficiency.

The new platform will allow BroadJump clients to identify supply chain savings opportunities more quickly, validate and compare proposed pricing, track the impact of price negotiations and compare expected and realized savings. Specific enhancements include the following:

Ability to upload and compare price proposals to current and market pricing – for products the client buys regularly and products the client has never purchased;

Ability to check prices on multiple products at the same time and to create custom market baskets for on-going research;

For Multi-Hospital Systems, price parity summary identifying opportunities for savings by using prices within the hospital’s own system

“BroadJump’s redesigned visual interface provides users with an enhanced experience that is clean and simple to use,” said David Ricker, founder, chairman and CEO. “A key focus of the redesign was to make the site even easier to use, while providing advanced features that will be valued by the savviest of supply chain teams.”

Managing the Healthcare Supply Chain in a Brand New Way

Dallas, Texas, (Marcus Evans) September 19, 2016 – “Hospitals overpay for supplies and medical devices due to a lack of pricing transparency and inefficient supply chain processes,” according to Dan DeTorrice, President & Chief Information Officer, BroadJump, LLC. Healthcare finance and supply chain executives should ensure they are paying the right price for products currently used in the hospital before contemplating switching vendors or products, he suggests.

BroadJump, LLC is a solution provider at the Marcus Evans National Healthcare CFO Summit Fall 2016, taking place in Los Angeles, California, October 16-18.

Why do hospitals overpay for supplies and medical devices?

Hospitals routinely procure medical supplies, devices and drugs in order to care for their patients. When doing so, they often pay a price for these items without knowing the fair price to pay. This is due to a pervasive lack of information – or a lack of cost transparency – about the fair market value of medical and surgical supplies. This is one of hospitals’ biggest struggles today: not knowing fair market prices gives suppliers the upper hand over hospitals when negotiating the sale of these goods.

Consider this: in any quarter, the average acute care hospital buys 25,000 different products, which typically takes 1,500 contracts. Prices in certain categories can also drop over time, so hospitals must have the latest information on market prices for supplies to ensure their costs are staying in line. Luckily for hospitals, new and emerging, on-demand applications help them quickly and easily understand the marketplace. It is a completely new way of managing complex supply expenses with fewer resources, ensuring they pay fair prices for the supplies they purchase.

How can hospitals improve their sourcing process with data analytics?

Automation is key. New-to-market technologies can help hospitals prioritize where to focus their efforts to get the biggest bang for their buck. When negotiating with suppliers, they need to have facts and figures that prove where their prices should be in the marketplace. With real-time information at their fingertips, contracting executives can ensure they are paying fair market prices.

At BroadJump, we believe hospitals should first try to reduce the price of products they already purchase before looking to switch vendors or products. Our research has proven this is the easiest, fastest and most efficient way to save money.

What impact can this application have on labor productivity?

BroadJump’s proprietary application allows hospitals to do more with less, to manage increasingly complex supplier negotiations with fewer people. Our technology reduces sourcing time from months to minutes, which is critical to financial success in today’s environment.

What trends should hospitals prepare for?

With today’s technologies, hospitals can identify trends in different markets or categories. With BroadJump’s application, they can ascertain if peer hospitals are having success negotiating lower prices and then use that intelligence to inform their own supplier negotiations.

Closing thoughts?

Transparency is here. If you run a hospital, you are addressing this already on the consumer front, because patients demand it. With average hospital margins shrinking and financial pressures mounting, that same sort of discipline must also be applied to what hospitals pay their suppliers. In the future, every hospital in the country will have on-demand analytics to maximize efficiency in the supply expense area and they won’t remember how they managed their business without it.

St. Louis, Missouri (PRWEB) September 19, 2016 – Intalere, the healthcare industry leader in delivering optimal cost, quality and clinical outcomes, today announced the introduction of Intalere OptiPrice Advantage℠ (powered by BroadJump™), a tool which provides real-time product cost transparency to help hospitals capture millions of dollars in savings on medical and surgical supply costs.

“Today, hospitals may spend months gathering information to negotiate a single pricing amendment. Even then, they may lack meaningful pricing information with which to negotiate. Intalere OptiPrice Advantage is a strategic sourcing tool which enables you to compare the price you are paying for medical surgical products to the price other hospitals from across the country are paying on the exact same products,” said Julius Heil, Intalere president and CEO.

Intalere Optiprice Advantage helps balance a facility’s negotiating power with suppliers and significantly reduces the cycle time to renegotiate pricing agreements. The solution utilizes medical surgical product pricing data submitted monthly by more than 400 hospitals from across the country to the Intalere OptiPrice Advantage database, which is refreshed on a daily basis. Participating facilities represent both Intalere members and non-members.

Members can analyze spend by categories – such as stents, orthopedic implants, endomechanical, ICDs, osteobiologics, etc. – to determine the range of cost savings available in comparison to what other hospitals with a similar product mix are paying.

The data-driven analytical design can be filtered and formatted for customized views to enhance the depth and breadth of benchmarking needs. Intalere OptiPrice Advantage also generates a revised price list by SKU so members can seamlessly integrate this list with a pre-approved pricing amendment template. Intalere OptiPrice Advantage benefits customers by making them more:

The system is extremely easy to use and can be learned in less than one hour. Intalere will also provide ongoing customer support. Yavapai Regional Medical Center and Virginia Mason Medical Center have both signed on as the newest customers of Intalere OptiPrice Advantage.

“This tool is really the epitome of making evidence-based decisions, which is becoming increasingly important in today’s healthcare marketplace,” said Tim Ingram, director of materials management, Yavapai Regional Medical Center (YRMC). “The real-time analytics, national scope, comparison modules and service line features give it an advantage over other similar tools I have used, and it really makes you comfortable and knowledgeable in terms of ‘putting you in the driver’s seat’ when negotiating.” According to Ingram, within two days of implementing Intalere OptiPrice Advantage, YRMC was able to identify more than $100,000 in price reductions on just one product.

Intalere’s partner in bringing Intalere OptiPrice Advantage to members is BroadJump LLC, which is focused on delivering supply chain analytics that drive greater efficiency and enable hospitals and health systems to manage their supply costs on-demand. The BroadJump platform is powered by the fastest growing and most up-to-date repository of healthcare supply chain data available anywhere.
